Encounters fol
內容簡介:
Welcome to writing practice. This book is a companion to
Encounters Student Book One, and it will help you learn the Chinese
characters required for writing. Note that many other characters
are presented in the Readings section of Encounters, but these are
not practiced here. We practice here only those required for
writing recall. Keep in mind that writing and learning go hand in
hand, so practice in one leads to increased proficiency in the
other. What''s more, writing is also just plain fun. So give some
time to developing a decent handwriting. You''II be proud of
yourself and of your Chinese. As you proceed, keep in mind the
following tips.
Tactics and StrateEries for Learning Characters
Characters may seem, at first glance, an unorganized jumble of
pen strokes, but, in fact, each character has one or more
components and each component contributes to the character.
Although the total Chinese characters number in the tens of
thousands, all characters are constructed from about 600 components
in varying combinations. When you learn a character, it will be
helpful if you pay close attention to components rather than look
at the character as an isolated, haphazard collection of strokes.
This manual will help you in that effort.
When you write a character, you do write it with individual
strokes. Each stroke must be written in a prescribed sequence, such
as left to right, top to bottom, and so on, and learning the proper
order will be important to the rest of your study of Chinese. For
example, if you see a character that you don''t know, you will need
to consult a Chinese dictionary. To do so successfully, you need to
be able to count the strokes properly. Improper stroke order often
leads to an incorrect stroke count, and missing a stroke here and
there will lead you astray.
Writing practice will help you understand the''structure of
Chinese characters, which helps retention. Writing will enable you
to see the inner logic of characters, how they are built from two,
three, or more components-which, again, will assist memory. Most
Chinese characters are made up of one or more of these components,
and these components are not haphazardly placed together but have
definite, helpful-to-the-learner relationships. Learning the
relationship of the parts leads to learning and better remembering
the whole. Information contained on these sheets will help in that
analysis.
